Emerging Technologies

I read the article, "Ultra-Efficient Solar," and a company called Semprius has created a new solar panel that has record breaking efficiency. An outstanding 34 percent of the light is turned into electricity, beating the previous record of only 23 percent. These solar panels also don't even need a cooling system because of how little heat they produce.So, if there is no need for a cooling system, there is no need to pay for one which brings the price down. I predict that once the price drops a enough for the "average" person to buy this, they will become much more popular. Also, we get a good amount of sunlight in southeast Michigan, so I believe that the solar panel could really help us out. In 2009, intelligent software assistant was considered emerging technology, and now, there is intelligent software assistants on iPhones.
